CHAdeMO adapter wait frustration

[MarcG]

Hmm, raises the question: maybe all previous islandbayy postings were in the dream world? Were they real or were they memorexx??

I just called TM and am ~#700 in the queue for the Chademo.

When did you ask to be added to the waitlist?

 

[Rheazombi]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has Tesla-themed dreams, (none about the adapter yet though). Perhaps would make an interesting idea for a thread?

Or perhaps, I should re-create the the dream in my YouTube video review of the adapter

 

[FlasherZ]

I wonder when us rubes who never got on any waitlist will be able to order the thing from the actual website. Hmmm

I can tell you because I got on the waitlist last week. When I get my e-mail, then I'll let you know. I suspect the orderability will be turned on before then, though.

Sooo, I took my brand spankin new CHAdeMO adapter to downtown Milwaukee last night, to the University's measly 20kW CHAdeMO station. Setup my tripod, had a nice little student crowd watching. Filmed one of my absolute best YouTube videos EVER. The adapter Worked Absolutely Flawless!
All was good. Did Tesla Time with the University Students (I cant believe how overall Stupid the majority of university students are...), I pack up my stuff, and head out.

Pull out onto the main street and some moron, making a illegal left turn slams into me.

It was at that point I woke up.... Yes, you read correctly, I **** WOKE UP!!!! Went through all of that, just for it to be a ******* Dream!

TESLA! HELP ME OUT HERE! I"M AT THE POINT WHERE I AM EVEN DREAMING ABOUT THIS STUPID ADAPTER!!! MOVE UP THIS LIST QUICKER PLEASE!!!!!!!

OMG you had me going!

More importantly... was Bobby Ewing in your shower?

I sent an email to request they add me to the list (last year) and never receive a response. Hmm....

Got FedEx delivery confirmation. Still on my way home ...

 

[David99]

I added myself to the list in April last year. I emailed them today and they have not reached my position in the waiting list yet. But I didn't get a number.

I will definitely use mine here and there on road trips, but I don't see myself using it much.

I foresee (short term) these adapters selling on eBay near their original $1000 tag or more for people that don't want to wait for the backlog to clear from sellers who now have a lot of SC options nearby...

If I had a trip planned west towards TN where chademo is prevalent I might consider that. But my luck 2 weeks later they'd get to me on the wait list... lol.

FWIW, I was added to the wait list approx 1 week after some others here that have received the order email -- in Oct 2013. I haven't received the email yet and still debating if I'll get it. It would come in handy for some road trips, but not all. We'll see...

Mine is in Tonopah AZ on its way to be delivered on Monday.

For those on the waiting list wanting to guage where they are, I found out that my November 3 2013 reservation puts me at 120 on the list. No invite yet.

 

[Klaus]

I got wait list confirmation on 11 Oct 2013 and the available for purchase email on 4 Feb 2015 11:32. Don't know my wait list number. The box was waiting for me when I got home today.

I spoke to Tesla in Tilburg (Netherlands) yesterday evening and they told me that the Netherlands only got a few. They come in by name in very small numbers.

I'm number 59 on the list, so it might take a while before I get mine.

 

[L@urens]

Oh, I added myself last week... Go figure

Unboxing pictures please!!!

 

[hiroshiy]

It's not really unboxing or something like that. Open the box and it's there. One part, one sheet of paper and that's it. It just works. Be sure not to drop the adapter when connecting as you need to connect the adapter to the charger and then to Model S, and make sure you press start button quickly after connection to Model S as the car times out pretty quickly.

 

[wk057]

None of these on ebay yet?!
